Books Being Read By Me — A Look Into My UX Library

An Enjoyable Sisyphean Endeavor

two books
Two of the Insightful Books I’m reading at the moment!

What I’m Reading Now

Right now, I’m reading the following books:

  • Ruined by Design by Mike Monteiro — a library book I’m reading bit by bit. It’s a great volume tackling more pressing problems when it comes to designing for users when working for bigger companies and Mike is another one of my heroes when calling out design culture and I’d love to someday get in touch or collaborate with him!
  • Articulating Design Solutions by Tom Greever (2nd Edition) — another library book I’m looking to peruse through and gain insights on how to present design solutions to a variety of stakeholders/non-designers/laypeople. I wasn’t expecting to get this book into my hands as quickly as I did, but that’s the *magic* of the Hennepin Co Library hold system!!
  • Sketching User Experiences the Workbook — the workbook that accompanies the Sketching User Experiences book. It has a few more authors working with Buxton to help distill ideas from the OG volume into exercises (some done solo and other done with team members).
